Raycast to the ground give ridiculous reading

[flywlyx]

Working on a hover craft, the raycast sometimes give ridiculous reading when casting the ground. Is there anyway to fix this?

Not really, no.

I've fought with this for quite a while for my Landing Height mod and sometimes the raycast just doesn't.

The two big caveats are:

1) Raycast only works in physics range, which I believe is 2400meters. Higher then this altitude the ground doesn't exist for the raycast to hit.

2) The PQS system has invisible grid objects of some sort that the raycast sometimes hits. I've never been able to figure out what or where they are so you have to compensate.

The best I've come up with is the code I used for my landing height mod as I use here. Note however I have the overall error trap at the end that falls back to using Vessel.PQSaltitude as a failsafe as raycasts are not 100% reliable.

Thank you, have you ever check how long would this glitch last? I implant a derivative prediction try to eliminate the glitch reading, but not working really well.I am told that wheel collider is also a raycast, do you know how does it works? Is it because of the mask?
